Today's offering proudly showcases this impressive C.O.T. Certified Pre-Owned vintage mens Rolex Oysterdate in gorgeous restored condition - on the wrist, it presents virtually like a new Rolex.

It measures 35mm in diameter - in between the size of a Rolex Date and a Datejust.

Powering the watch is its original Rolex Caliber 1225 handwound movement with date and shock resistance.

It has all of its original parts and has just finished a true expertly done restoration. It presents in gorgeous condition. Our photos couldn't begin to do it justice.

Its case presents as mint with only light signs of previous polishing. Its lugs still have nice width to them. Its matte black Rolex dial, with great original vintage styled markers, has been meticulously restored - its printing could pass as Rolex factory done to the naked eye.

Though the dial looks more gloss under the photography lights, it appears matte in person.

As part of the restoration, a Master Watchmaker has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, replacing any overly worn components, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $595 value). Photos of the inside available upon request.

Its movement is near pristine and running extremely strong and true, keeping time on par with a brand new Rolex in our testing recording position.

For the finishing touch, we have equipped it with a brand new leather strap and aftermarket Rolex style buckle and meticulously making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function, a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity, and a new timing certificate.

Your watch is important to us, and we will take care of it for its lifetime. We provide the best after sale care in the business with an extremely experienced team of four Master Watchmakers all of whom each have over thirty-five years of experience and a large number of parts. One used to be the watchmaker for an authorized Rolex dealership and was given special training by Rolex at their Beverly Hills Service Center.

We also have two fine quality aftermarket bracelets available for purchase so you can choose which look you prefer or switch between them depending on how you feel. One is done in a Rolex Presidential style and one is done is a Rolex Oyster style. Both have heavy solid link designs and are adjustable and brand new. Please see the sample photos in the listing.

The pictures are of the actual watch for sale. We offer shipping the next business day to over 100 countries. In addition, we offer a no-hassle money back guarantee if you don't absolutely love it so there's no risk to you!
